I met and had two long conversations with him at my publisher's birthday party in CA. He is the nicest man and asked that I send a copy of my book to him as he had domestic violence in his childhood and said that was when he began to pull inward as an escape. Also, he doesn't charge for his readings because he's usually dealing with people who have broken hearts and refuses to make money off of their grief.

Thanks all! I'm still on 60-hour work weeks until Christmas, so I'll pop in and impart my wisdom (ahem) where it lands

Aye a lot of the mediums dont make money out of their service to church's the most a lot of them take is traveling expenses. Theirs hundreds of the lesser knowen mediums working this way without that much fame or money but they consider it as a way of doing service for their god and for people just to know or experience that their is life (continium of sorts)on the other side.

Their just wee tresures touching a few wee harts as they go their way.

Oh sorry one last thing just for the educators, belting and beating the pupuls was just standered practice.....

Just standered untill you could standered up to them. ...lol no.....

Untill the late 80's or early 90's. Then it was stoped by LAW from parliment.

celtic, this went on in Catholic schools during the 60s and 70s. I recall boys being grabbed by the tie and whacked against the chalk board a few times. It's very disturbing to think about now.
